Avon Haul C10

Hi dolls,

OK so as I said in my last blog post, I had an Avon haul to put up and here it is.

I bought one of these last year to put my facial stuff in and also to save space on my dressing table and I loved it and was so annoyed that I hadn't gotten 2 of them. So I saw that it was listed as limited stock and thought right I'm getting it.

Country Rose Compartment Beauty Holder - £3

It has a front compartment

2 compartments on the inside

 And a back compartment

Nailwear Pro nail polish - Chery Jubilee -£1

 This colour is gorgeous. Its a deep cherry red. You'll need about 2 coats for an even finish. And make sure to use a base coat. Another note is this nail polish is pain to remove and goes all over your fingers. But that wont deter me from wearing it.
I got this nail polish on offer.


Naturals Strawberry and White Chocolate collection

Theses products smell AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! They smell like sweets. after I used it I just sat there sniffing my hands haha.
In the collection you get 3 items.

Hand and Body lotion -  If you suffer from dry skin this isn't gonna do much for you. But if you don't then Id defo go and buy this
 Shower gel - not much to say on this is just your standard shower gel
Room and linen spray - I love spraying this on my clothes and then throwing them in the tumble dryer, the smell really soaks in. And My room constantly smells of this spray.
Catalogue price - £9.60
 

Ideal Luminous Blush  - Russet

This is a gorgeous blusher. It  can be subtle and add just a flush of colour to the cheeks. Or if you want it a bit stronger just build up the colour. This has been my go to blush since I got it.
Catalogue price - £6.50
 

Swatch:

Color Trend

They have re-vamped the packaging for the color trend collection and they came out with a few new shades of lipstick, eyeshadows.

Eyeshadow Duo
I've never tried ColorTrend eyeshadwos before so I only got 2. I'm very happy with the pigmentation and look forward to wearing them. I chose Violetta to see if their brighter colours would show up on me and I chose Chocolate kiss for the more natural days.

This lipstick are great. They are very pigmented and come in a range of colours to suit all skin tones. I'm a big fan of the ColorTrend range. I'm gonna try out their new nail polishes next.I know the colours are quite similar but they are different I promise :) I'm trying to branch out my colour range.
 Catalogue price - £3.75
 

Read my lips lip gloss in Kiss Kiss

I've only bought one other lip gloss in this range and it wasn't that pigmented. So I was really surprised when I swatched this how pigmented the product is. I'm very impressed.

Swatches:

Poppy Love, Doll Pink (top 2), Passion, Rich Ruby (Bottom 2). To the right: Kiss Kiss.

These are so cute. I love stud earrings. The main reason I wanted this set was the heart earrings, love them.

Avon Haul: C2

Hello my lovelies,

So here I am with another haul.

 Christian Lacroix Rouge EDP - £11.99

I got this to add to my CL perfume collection :) And it smells lovely, like the rest. Like I've always stated, I'm no good at describing perfume smells.

 Avon Care Limited Edition Glycerine hand and nail cream

 This was part of a 3 for £3.50 deal

I have so many of this hand cream. I got this because of the packaging haha. 

I've been looking at trying out new body creams and I saw these two items and decided I might as well for the price they are, the first one up is a body whip, which  I have never tried before from any brand not just Avon. 

 Naturals Body Whip - Milk and Honey

This was part of a 3 for £3.50 deal

 This smells so good in the container, but once its on my skin its got quite a sickly scent to it. I dunno if that's  just how its reacting to my skin or whatever. I'm still gonna use it, just probably on my legs so I don't get a waft of it every time I move lol. It claims to be moisturising but its not the most moisturising for me, but I do suffer with VERY dry skin. If you don't suffer from dry skin I'm sure this'll be fine for you.

 This is quite a thick formula, and this is only a little bit I took out with my finger. So this would probably last you a while :)

 Avon Care Intensive Moisture body lotion - £2.15

Like I said above I'm trying out new moisturisers but I find this one even less moisturising than the body whip.I will persevere and use this cos I paid for it. But its not something I will purchase again.

COLORTREND

I got 5 items from the ColorTrend range. I got them all on a deal.

2 ColorTrend Kiss'n'Go lipsticks (Buy 1 get one free)

2 ColorTrend Read my lips lipgloss (Buy 1 get one free)

And I got another lipstick as part of the 3 for £3.50 deal.

 

KISS'n'GO Lipstick - Cafe au Lait - Free

(Buy one get one free)

I was so disappointed when I opened this lipstick when I saw it and swatched it. Its did not look like this in the catalogue. Its bronzey-gold and hideous. Fair enough if I was looking to a bronze goddess look fair enough ti would hit the mark, but no I was just looking for something to wear on a daily basis that was a little bit neutral. This is going right into my freelance kit.The good thing about these lipsticks is that they are very pigmented.

 KISS'n'GO lipstick - VINO DISCO - £3.50

I was very happy with this purchase. It is gorgeous and not too shimmery. Its nice and pigmented.

 KISS'n'GO lipstick - Raisin Wine

This was part of a 3 for £3.50 deal

I LOVE this lipstick, its not shimmery but its not matte either, its that nice medium. And its such a natural colour on my lips. LOVE IT!!!!!

 Read My Lips Lipgloss - WINK -Free

(Buy one get one free)

 This gloss also wasn't what I expected, from what I saw in the picture I expected it to look much different. Luckily if I add it to a lipstick I can get away with it.

 Read My Lips Lipgloss - Start up Pink - £3.50

A simple pink lipgloss, that I can wear on its own or over a lipstick or lip liner :)

Swatches:

 Top row: L-R: Cafe au Lait, Vino Disco, Raisin Wine

Bottom row: L-R: Wink, Start up pink

 

 Top to bottom: Raisin Wine, Vino Disco, Cafe au Lait, Start up pink, Wink.

 Nailwear Pro nail polish - CORAL BEAT - £1.20

 Amazingly bright coral nail polish.This needs 2 coats to be completely opaque.

My thumb looks so weird in this pic, plus I didn't clean up my nail oops.

 

 Panel Slouch bag - £2.99

Just a simple black pleather bag (gotta love the animals haha).  I got this 1. cos of the price and 2. because I wanted a new everyday bag that I can carry over my shoulder.

And I bought myself something not beauty related but I just couldn't resist haha

Snowman Mug with Chocolate shaker hat - £2.99

I am such a sucker for cutesy mugs.

So I was looking at pictures on my camera...

Hello my lovelies,

So I was going through some pics and came across these swatches I'd done of some nail polishes I'd got form Avon a while back. These photos were supposed to be part of a HUGE nail haul that I was supposed to post but then my nails broke and I didn't get to finish. So I thought why let these photos go to waste? So I thought I'm just gonna post them
